I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 707: Ogata's Tactics: Woodpecker Tactics (Part 2)

The latest website: Seeing that he once fought side by side in Kyoto, and then briefly reunited in Edo, Makimura suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was difficult for Hasegawa not to be stunned.

The people headed by Makimura were also stunned now – they never thought that in Toyotomi’s territory, they would encounter people who changed from Huofu thieves.

If anyone said that after seeing Hasegawa, the reaction was the most intense… It was naturally Mamiya.

Mamiya, who was standing behind Makimura, was startled when he saw Hasegawa, and then subconsciously hid behind Makimura.

But he moved a little slower.

After Hasegawa saw Makimura, he immediately saw Mamiya’s recognizable face with glasses.

“Kuro Mamiya!” Hasegawa frowned immediately, “Why are you in this place!”

He looked at Makimura, then at Mamiya.

“Makimura-kun, why are you with Kuro Mamiya?”

Mamiya, as the only wanted criminal other than Rin in the gourd house, has been tracked by Huofu thieves for a long time. Hasegawa has long remembered Mamiya’s face and could no longer be familiar with it.

Some of the old people who were present at the Hofu thief Kai also recognized Mamiya at almost the same time, and stared at Mamiya, and the atmosphere around him immediately became tense.

At this time, it was Makimura who said in time:

“Mr. Hasegawa, now is not a good time for you and me to confront each other here.”

“About Mamiya, I will explain it to you later when I have time.”

“Now let’s be quiet and have a good chat together.”

Hasegawa is not someone who can’t understand the priorities.

Even without Makimura’s reminder, he knew what was the most urgent right now, and what could be considered later.

The originally twisted eyebrows slowly stretched down, and raised his hand to signal to the surrounding subordinates not to be nervous.

Hasegawa still trusts Makimura, a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side.

And when Hasegawa told his subordinates not to be nervous—

“Mr. Isshiki?”

A nice female voice sounded from behind Makimura.

Immediately afterwards, Hasegawa caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure rushing out from behind Makimura.

After this beautiful figure appeared, Hasegawa heard Isshiki Zhizhou behind him exclaim:

“Miss A-cho?!”

This shadow is exactly A-ding.

Although A-cho doesn’t know Isshiru Water and Isshishi, but she knows Isshi Zhizhou.

Looking at Naoshu standing behind Hasegawa, A-cho, who was full of joy, let out a sigh of relief.

“Great…you’re fine.”

“Huh? Mr. Isshiki.” Hasegawa asked, “Did you know each other before?”

Although Hasegawa is very familiar with Ogata, he has never met this Ogata’s wife, nor does he know A-cho.

“Hmm…” Looking at A-ding, who had reunited after a long absence, Zhi Zhou was overjoyed at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something, his vision was short, and he did not dare to look at A-ding, “We know…”

“Isshiki…” Yuan Yi muttered at this moment, “Miss A-Ting, are they Miss Isshiki’s family? It seems that we are lucky to find Miss Isshiki’s family so soon.”

Hearing the name “Ishiki Flower”, Zhi Zhou and the others immediately stabbed Yuan Yi with their urgent gazes as if they were electrocuted.

“Do you know Xiaohua?” Ishiki, who was thinking about the girl, was the first to ask quickly.

“Yeah.” Yuan nodded slightly, “Miss Isshiki is currently in Osaka, she is very safe now.”

As soon as Yuan Yi said these words, he saw Isshiji slumped towards the ground as if his legs had lost strength. Fortunately, Yishi, who was beside her, had quick eyes and quick hands, and reached out to support her in time.

“Thanks to the Bodhisattva…Thanks to the Bodhisattva…” Isshishi looked like he was about to cry.

“Mr. Hasegawa.” Makimura asked Hasegawa with a puzzled face at this time, “Why are you here with the Isshiki family?”

“That’s a long story. To put it simply—we were caught.”

Hasegawa introduced the situation on their side to Makimura and his party in the simplest possible sentences.

“… Anyway, that’s what happened. I’m planning to get out of here now.”

“Have you been imprisoned here recently? Have you ever seen a shorter girl?” Makimura asked anxiously.

“A shorter girl?” Hasegawa tilted his head and pondered, “Well…I haven’t seen it before.”

Hearing Hasegawa’s last words, Makimura’s face involuntarily showed a look of loss.

“What about you?” Hasegawa asked at this time, “Why did you come here?”

“We’re here to find someone.” Mamiya, who had been silent just now, replied in a flat tone, “As for who the person we’re looking for, please allow us to keep it a secret.”

“Looking for someone?” Hearing Mamiya’s answer, Hasegawa fell silent.

After a long silence, I heard Hasegawa speak again:

“In that case… can you cooperate with us?”

“Cooperation?” Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows with interest, “What kind of cooperation method?”

“We have a lot of people here, and all of them are basically the elites of thieves and reforms for me. When it comes to finding people, those of us who specialize in catching thieves also have some experience.” Hasegawa said, “We will help you find people together. , and then you just need to help us get out of here.”

Just now, after meeting Makimura, Hasegawa has actually been thinking about cooperation.

Hasegawa’s idea is simple – the more people, the greater the power and the greater the chance of escape.

Even if he has rescued his subordinates now and is no longer a bare commander, Hasegawa still does not dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he can escape from here successfully.

Especially after having a fight with Gao Qing just now, and seeing that Toyotomi’s members are not low in organization and training, Hasegawa has no bottom line.

The most important thing at the moment is to get out of here quickly.

Anything other than that can be put aside and tolerated—including fighting side by side with Kuro Mamiya, whom they have been tracking for a long time.

Perhaps because he used to be a street gangster, Hasegawa’s ideas are extremely flexible, never rigid, and he pursues pragmatism. As long as it is beneficial to his current goals, the original enemy can also be a comrade-in-arms.

In Hasegawa’s heart, he thought about it: instead of continuing to “fight alone” like this, it would be better to directly cooperate with Makimura and the others. With Mamiya and Makimura’s powerful help, the chances of escaping from this place will be greatly increased. .

Seeing Hasegawa bluntly throwing out an invitation for cooperation, Yuan Yi smiled:

“Do you want to cooperate with Huo Fu thieves reform… It’s not impossible. But I’m going to say it before – we may spend a lot of time looking for people, which means it should be a while before we have that. To help you get out of here in your spare time. Even so, would you like to?”

“It’s okay.” Hasegawa said without hesitation.

“Since you think it’s okay, let’s follow.” Yuan Yi waved his hand.

“…Mr. Yuan, do you really want to bring Mr. Hasegawa?” Mamiya lowered his voice at this time, using a volume that only he and Yuanichi could hear clearly, Chao Yuanyi asked, “The Isshiki family must The ones to bring, but Mr. Hasegawa and the others…they can bring us little help, if we bring them, we always feel that our team will become a lot bloated.”

“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Genichi smiled freely and responded in a low voice, “From the current situation… Ogata-kun’s ‘woodpecker tactics’ has probably been seen through, and Toyotomi is not facing us at all. Recklessly, I only intend to directly abandon and leave Koyasan.”

“In the current situation, it doesn’t matter to us whether we take Hasegawa or not.”

“In that case, it’s better to bring them directly. With them, they might have some unexpected effects.”

“…I understand.” Mamiya nodded lightly, then silently took a step sideways and left from Genichi’s side.

“Since you have decided to act with us, let’s follow!” Genichi Hasegawa and his party said loudly, “We plan to thoroughly investigate this prison. See if there are any people in this prison that we are looking for. people.”

Hasegawa and the others have some wounded who were injured in the fight with Gao Qing and others just now – fortunately, there are no serious wounds, and all the wounds on the wounded are minor injuries that will not cause immediate death.

The wounded were supported by those who were not injured, and they lined up behind Yuanyi and his group.

Although Hasegawa suffered a gunshot wound to his leg, he could barely walk.

Hasegawa, who was limping while walking, forced himself to walk side by side with the only person he knew: Makimura, and asked Makimura:

“Makura-kun, how did you find this prison?”

“Where should I start… We found this place using the ‘woodpecker tactics’.” Makimura explained slowly, “We have been lurking on a certain high ground in the back mountain of Koyasan just now, waiting and tracking the Toyotomi army. trend.”

“We’ve just been fortunate enough to find a force of Toyotomi’s army.”

“We followed this Toyotomi army and finally found this underground prison successfully.”

The “a force of Toyotomi” that Makimura just mentioned was Gao Qing’s army.

When Gao Qinghuo hurriedly led his followers to the prison to check the situation, let Yuanyi and his party found their traces with binoculars.

Yuanyi and his party followed Gao Qing and the others, and finally found the underground prison under Gao Qing’s “lead the way”.

“Woodpecker tactics?” Hasegawa continued.

“This… Where should I start to explain it?” Makimura said with a wry smile.

…

…

…

…

Reverse time back to last night’s Osaka——

After Ogata said “Can I express my opinion?”, everyone present turned to look at Ogata.

“Opinion?” Asai raised his eyebrows, then looked up and down Ogata several times, “Ogata-kun, are you… planning to help us save the lord?”

Ogata smiled slightly, and then said very bluntly:

“Not really.”

“Of course I’m also happy to help you and help you rescue Miss Lin.”

“After all, Miss Lin is also a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with me.”

“But that’s not the main reason why I want to join forces with you.”

“Tonight… I can be regarded as receiving a lot of ‘care’ from Toyotomi.”

“Not only did I almost get killed, but even A-Ming almost suffered.”

“A-machi and I were almost finished – this kind of thing is not something you can just laugh at.”

Ogata’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone gradually became cold.

“Even if I take a step back—if I ignore the Toyotomi clan this time and choose to take A-cho to leave this place of right and wrong, then God knows if the Toyotomi clan will come to trouble us next time.”

“The debt Toyotomi owes me doesn’t stop here.”

Ogata’s hand, at this time, caressed Da Shitian and Da Zizai on his waist.

“Master Yu Er who helped me repair the knife… His skills are really amazing.”

“He repaired my saber like new.”

“In the end, because of Toyotomi’s people, I didn’t even have a chance to thank him…”

“Therefore, whether it is from the point of view of revenge for myself, A-Ming, and the second master, or from the point of view of self-protection, and the Toyotomi clan, we can’t just forget about it.”

“It has now been determined that the Toyotomi clan has established a large-scale stronghold on Koya Mountain, and the leader of the Toyotomi clan is likely to be on Koya Mountain at this time-this has the opportunity to solve the problem of the Toyotomi clan at one time. If you miss it, you may never meet again.”

“What’s more – I have already promised others.”

At this time, Ogata glanced at Isshiki who was not far away.

“I have already promised her: I will definitely bring back her family members who were taken away in their entirety.”

“So – Master Yuan, our goals are the same now.”

Ogata looked at Genichi opposite and smiled.

“You want to save people from Toyotomi.”

“And I want to save people from Toyotomi, and ask Toyotomi to settle accounts.”

“So let’s form an alliance again.”

“It’s like working together against Shiranui last year.”

“This time, we will work together to deal with Toyotomi.”

Genichi didn’t seem surprised by what Ogata said just now, and his expression was as usual.

After seeing him smiling freely, he gave a refreshing reply that matched his straightforwardness quite well:

“OK.”

“We can’t ask for your help Ogata-kun.”

“However—Ogata-kun, you made a mistake just now.”

The smile on Yuan Yi’s face slowly disappeared.

“We… it’s not just as simple as trying to get Xiao Lin back.”

“If there is a chance, we also want to teach that **** Xinxiu a lesson.”

“If you have grace, you will pay for it, and if you have revenge, you will avenge it – this is the style of our gourd house.”

“We’ve never done anything like this, but we’ve suffered a loss.”

“Ogata-kun, you just said that you wanted to express your opinion. Now, please express your opinion, we are all ears.”

Ogata nodded, then slowly said:

“Now, even if that left and right guard opens his mouth and tells us: he is willing to tell us everything he knows, we can’t just believe what he says.”

“After all, he is Toyotomi Nobuhide’s henchman.”

“Who knows if he will make up a lot of lies in order to confuse us or frame us.”

“And at this stage, we have only caught a person of high enough level, and only one left and right guard.”

“There is no way to cross-verify the information given by other high-ranking personnel, and it is difficult to falsify the information spit out by Yoemon.”

“Right now, it would take too much time for us to pry information out of the guards’ mouths step by step, and then falsify every piece of information he said bit by bit.”

“I personally think that it is not suitable for us who are in a hurry to pry information from the mouths of the left and right guards slowly.”

“Everyone—”

Ogata raised his eyes and looked around at the people around him.

“I have a plan now, I don’t know if you want to hear it.”

“I would like to hear the details.” Yuan Yi said without hesitation.

After Yuan Yi’s voice fell, the others nodded in agreement.

“My plan… It may be more convenient to explain it with the map of Koyasan.”

Having said that, Ogata turned to look at Isshiki.

“Miss Isshiki. Excuse me, can you draw a map of Koyasan now?”

“Now?” Isshiki was surprised.

“Yes, now.” Ogata looked around, “Is there a pen and paper in this temple?”

“This temple is so big, if you look for it, you should be able to find a pen and paper.” Mamiya replied.

Ogata and others searched all over the temple together, and finally found a small stack of rice paper, as well as a pen and inkstone in the room where the abbot of the temple lived.

Of course, Ogata and the others did not take or use the things of this temple for nothing.

As we all know – the minimum amount of funds used by Huluwu is a large amount of money.

When taking away the Four Treasures of the Study, Ma Gong conveniently placed a large sum of money in the place where the Four Treasures of the Study had been placed.

“I’m not very good at drawing…I don’t know if I can draw a map well…”

“It’s fine.” Ogata encouraged, “Just do your best to draw.”

With Ogata’s encouragement, Isshiki took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and bowed his head to the record.

“If you want to enter Koya Mountain, you must first go to Koya Town. This is the most convenient way to enter Koya Mountain.”

“The road from Koya Town to Koya Mountain is probably like this…”

While drawing, Ishikika explained and introduced in detail to Ogata and the others who were watching carefully around the table.

After about 2 sticks of incense, a slightly ugly, but surprisingly rich map appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

“I’m sorry…” Isshiki lowered his head slightly with shame, “I’m not very good at drawing…”

“No.” Ogata shook his head, “Miss Isshiki, your painting is much better than I expected.”

“A lot of things we want to know are marked on this map.”

After that, Ogata pointed to a large blank on the map:

“Miss Isshiki, where is Koyasan? Why is there nothing here?”

“This area has always been collectively referred to as the ‘back mountain’.” Isshiki replied, “The temples of Koya Mountain are basically concentrated in the front mountain, and the rear mountain has almost nothing, neither temples nor roads, so this is the place. Nothing at all.”

As soon as Ishiki Hana said this, Ogata and the others immediately fell silent.

After a while, Mamiya whispered:

“…The stronghold of the Toyotomi clan is likely to be built on the back mountain of Koyasan.”

“Yeah.” Ogata nodded lightly, “I think so too.”

Compared with the front mountain, which is densely populated with temples and crowded, it is obviously the back mountain where only birds and beasts usually visit, and it is more suitable for use as a “secret base”.

“But the question is – where exactly are Toyotomi’s strongholds built in the back mountain.” Asai curled his lips, “Even if the search scope is narrowed to the corner of the back mountain of Koya Mountain, the scope is still very large.”

“That’s not a problem.” Ogata said quickly, “If the plan I just thought of was successful… I should be able to successfully find Toyotomi’s stronghold on Koya Mountain.”

Ogata’s remarks, as expected, attracted the attention of everyone present.

And Ogata didn’t give a shit. After Ishiki helped draw the map, he immediately bowed his head in front of the map and talked eloquently:

“The Toyotomi troops in Osaka have now been defeated by us.” “Koyasan is Toyotomi’s largest stronghold in mainland Japan, and at the same time it is close to Osaka. It is only a matter of time when Koyasan receives the battle situation from Osaka. .”

“If it takes a long time, the Koyasan side will know the situation on the Osaka side, and then take corresponding defensive measures.”

“So—we might as well launch a lightning fast attack on Koyasan immediately!”

“Taking advantage of Koyasan still doesn’t know the current situation of Osaka or it’s too late to start defense, hit Koyasan by surprise.”

“Now find two carriages that are big enough to drive to Koyasan around the clock.”

“The straight-line distance from Osaka to Koyasan is more than 10 miles (about 50 kilometers in modern times).”

“Although the speed of the carriage is slow, if you drive around day and night, you should be able to reach Koyasan by noon tomorrow.”

“Those who can drive take turns driving, while those who don’t drive sleep in the carriage behind the carriage.”

“After arriving at Koyasan…”

Ogata stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the location of “Xiangen Temple” marked on the map.

“At present, the only known stronghold of the Toyotomi clan on Koya Mountain is Xianyuan Temple.”

“I alone will attack Koyasan head-on, and attract Toyotomi’s followers to attack.”

“Lord Yuan, you guys, just follow the trails on the map and sneak into the back mountain.”

Ogata’s fingers moved slowly on the map, moving to the large blank on the map.

“The Toyotomi clan sent an army to conquer me, and Houshan will be quite lively by then.”

“In this way, the opportunity to find Toyotomi’s stronghold on Koya Mountain will come.”

“After leading the snake out of the hole, follow the direction the snake came out of and find the hole where the snake was hiding.”

“Lord Yuan, you should follow the place and direction of the Toyotomi clan in the back mountain, and find the stronghold of the Toyotomi family.”

“And after I attract the Toyotomi clan to attack, I will defeat the attacking Toyotomi army as soon as possible, and then come to join you.”

While Ogata was talking about his plan, Genichi and the others had been listening very carefully.

After his voice fell, the first person to speak was Mamiya.

“…Woodpecker tactics.” He said solemnly.

In the Warring States Period more than 200 years ago, two extremely powerful princes, the Takeda clan and the Uesugi clan, were born.

These two princes both gave birth to a hero at the same time: Takeda Shingen, known as the “Tiger of Jiafei”, and Uesugi Kenshin, known as the “Dragon of Echigo”.

At one time, Yuliang’s two heroes fought countless battles for the territory, especially in a place called “Kuanzhong Island”, the two heroes fought 5 large-scale battles before and after.

In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, Takeda Shingen adopted the advice of military advisor Kansuke Yamamoto and implemented the famous “woodpecker tactics”.

Although the name is bells and whistles, its essence is “sound east and west + wait for work”.

Divide the army into two parts: the team and the raid team.

This team is used to attract the attention of the enemy, while the surprise team goes around the rear of the enemy, using surprise or assault and other combat methods to drive the enemy out of the garrisoned position and rush to our own team that has been ambushed or waiting in advance. place, and then the two teams attacked the enemy in front and back.

There are many variations of this woodpecker technique.

There is a kind of woodpecker tactics, that is, instead of the surprise attack team to force the enemy’s main force out of the garrison position, the main force of the enemy army will be forced out of the garrison position, and then the surprise attack team will launch an assault, and the team will attack the enemy before and after— – This kind of woodpecker warfare is very similar to his plan just mentioned by Ogata, and the Imperial Palace will call it the “woodpecker warfare”.

“…Ogata-kun, I understand what you mean.” Yuan said, “Ogata-kun, your plan…it is quite suitable for us who are smearing Koyasan right now.”

“But I have a question—”

The source looked at Ogata’s eyes slowly serious.

“In this plan of yours…you’re putting yourself at considerable risk.”

“Attack Koyasan head-on to attract the attention of the Toyotomi clan – if this part of the plan is successful, there will be countless Toyotomi clan members attacking you.”

“And that’s not the most troublesome thing.”

“The most troublesome thing is after the fact.”

“You are responsible for the frontal attack, and the person who is most likely to carry the infamy of ‘attacking Buddhism’ is you.”

“Even with all the danger and trouble…do you still want to carry out your plan?”

“Of course.” As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Xu Fang said loudly without hesitation, “Whether the plan I just mentioned is successful or not depends on whether the people lurking in the back mountain can accurately detect Toyotomi. find and capture Toyotomi’s stronghold.”

“It’s a little bit of luck.”

“Therefore, in order to ensure success as much as possible, the number of people in charge of lurking in the back mountain should be as large as possible, and the strength should be as strong as possible.”

“There should be as many people lurking in the back mountain as possible, so there should be as few people responsible for attracting attention on the frontal attack.”

“Attract Toyotomi’s attention with as few people as possible, and the side responsible for the frontal assault must also have a way to withstand the siege of the army sent by Toyotomi – thinking about this, it is the most suitable for this task. Yes, it is none other than me.”

“For me now… even if the Toyotomi clan from all Koya Mountains attacked, I still have the confidence to protect myself, and even turn them into an army.”

“If only I were to attract Toyotomi’s attention, then everyone else would be able to devote themselves to the reconnaissance of the back mountain.”

“Master Yuan, I know all the troubles and dangers you just mentioned.”

Ogata paused, then smiled, and said in a flat tone:

“But these so-called troubles and dangers… to me, they are nothing.”

“I’m already an ‘enemy’.”

“It doesn’t matter to me whether there are more ‘Buddha enemies’ titles.”

“Anyway, I’m already in a state where it’s difficult to show my true face, and I’m not afraid of getting a little more bad reputation.”

“No need to worry about me.”

“I came up with this plan after seriously considering my situation and the trouble I might encounter in the future.”

Genichi looked at Ogata’s expression and eyes seriously.

After a while, Yuan Yi let out a silent sigh.

“…It seems that you have indeed made up your mind.”

“Since Ogata-kun, you have already made up your mind, then I’m not a mother-in-law anymore.”

After speaking, Yuan Yi raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him.

“I personally think that the ‘woodpecker tactics’ that Ogata just mentioned is quite good and suits my appetite.”

“Instead of continuing to be overwhelmed like a headless fly, it is better to take a gamble and immediately hit the enemy’s base camp. Maybe Xiaolin is really in Koya Mountain now. Even if she can’t find Xiaolin, she can still catch her. Some of Toyotomi’s high-level personnel.”

“What do you think?”

This is Asai, who has always supported Naotori Koyasan, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Mamiya was silent for the first time.

After a while, he asked Ogata in a deep voice:

“Ogata-kun, allow me to confirm with you again: You are really conscious of your ‘woodpecker tactics’, right?”

“Yes.” Ogata said.

“That being the case… I understand.”

Mamiya sighed, then nodded to Gen.

Shimada, who was not assertive, nodded when he saw Mamiya, who he usually trusts and relied on the most. After hesitating for a while, he quickly nodded along with Mamiya.

Makimura, who advocated the idea of ​​obtaining information from Yoemon’s mouth just now, thought about it for the longest time.

He bowed his head, and after thinking for a long time, finally saw him nod his head.

And at this moment, everyone suddenly saw that A-cho walked over to Ogata with an expressionless face.

Seeing A-cho walking slowly to Ogata, many people present thought that A-cho was going to scold Ogata.

After all, the “Woodpecker Warfare” that Ogata just mentioned was extremely dangerous to Ogata himself, no matter how he thought about it. He had to use his own power to attract all the firepower of Toyotomi, and then he had to bear the infamy of “attacking Buddhism” afterwards.

However, when many people thought that A-machi was about to scold Ogata, A-machi only asked Ogata two simple questions in a calm tone:

“Have you really made up your mind? Are you ready?”

“Yeah.” Xu Xiang smiled at A-ding who was in front of him, and there was a slight apology in the smile on his face, “To fight a behemoth like Toyotomi, you have to make some sacrifices, I already thought about it. Alright, get ready.”

“…That’s fine. I see.” A-ding raised his head and smiled towards Ogata, “Since you’ve already thought and comprehended…then I won’t say anything more.”

Genichi himself was also surprised by A-machi who only asked Ogata this simple two-sentence question.

However, Yuan Yi did not ask or say much.

Seeing that A-cho also agreed, Genichi said aloud:

“Since everyone agrees with Ogata-kun’s ‘woodpecker tactics’, then let’s not waste time here! Let’s start action now!”

“Mamiya.”

Genichi looked at Mamiya.

“Can I give you the task of finding a carriage?”

“Leave it to me.” Mamiya didn’t even hesitate, and immediately replied, “I’ll go and try to get the carriage now.”

After that, Mamiya supported Vairocana at his waist and ran all the way to disappear from the sight of Ogata and others.

“The townspeople in Osaka are basically running away now… How did Mamiya-senpai get the carriage?” After watching Mamiya leave, Shimada couldn’t help asking Chaoyuan.

“I don’t know.” Yuan Yi smiled, “I don’t know where I can find a carriage at this time.”

“But feel free to leave the task to Mamiya.”

“I’ve never seen a mission that Mamiya couldn’t complete.”

“Master Yuan.” Asai suddenly interjected at this time, “We are going to Koyasan now… Then what should we do with these people we have captured so far?”

Asai pouted towards the place where Yoemon and the others were imprisoned, and then towards the place where Hatsumi and Shibata were imprisoned.

“That’s a good question…” Genichi raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin. “The left and right guards… Let’s try to hide them somewhere and deal with them later.”

“As for that first light and that Shibata…”

Yuan Yi pondered.

“…Just fulfill the promises made to them before and let them go free.”

“Master Yuan.” Asai stared, “Are you sure?”

“I originally wanted to keep them. When I think of any questions, I will continue to ask them questions.” Yuan Yi shrugged, “But now, we don’t have the time to ask them questions slowly.”

“They have provided us with so much information, and it is not fair that we keep imprisoning them on the grounds of ‘maybe we may have questions to ask them later’.”

“Let’s just set them free. How?”

“Are you asking us ‘how’?” Asai’s mouth twitched, “Now it’s you who has the final say in Gourd House.”

“Since you want to set those two free, then we naturally won’t have anything to say.”

It was Yuanichi and the others who caught Chuguang, and Ogata didn’t care whether Chuguang stayed or went, so naturally he wouldn’t have any objection to Yuanyi’s decision to “let them both go free”.

…

…

Ogata and his party came to the room where Hatsumi and Shibata were temporarily housed.

The room used to house the two was a fairly clean utility room. As soon as everyone entered the room, they saw the two curled up together in the corner.

Looking at the sudden attack of the group, Shibata, who was conservative in temperament, forced himself to remain calm, but Chu Guang was really calm, raised his eyes to glance at Ogata and the others, and then silently put his eyes away.

Yuan Yi didn’t say much.

After entering the room, he directly winked at Makimura and Asai beside him.

The two nodded at the same time, and then took a stride forward, untying the hemp ropes that bound Chuguang and Shibata’s hands and feet.

“I promised you before: as long as you can answer all the questions I ask, I will set you free.” Yuan Yi replied, “Now – I honor my promise.”

“You two, go wherever you want now.”

Touching his wrists that still had deep binding marks, Shibata was stunned, looked at his wrists blankly, and then looked at Ogata and the others in front of him.

As for Chu Guang——Her expression was quite calm from beginning to end.

After she glanced blankly at the hands that had returned to freedom, she asked Yuanyi something that made the old man frown lightly:

“You guys… are you planning to go to Koyasan and settle accounts with Toyotomi?”

“How do you know that we plan to go to Koya Mountain next?”

Only listening to Yuan smiled playfully, and then asked back:

“The place where the two of you were imprisoned, and the place where we just talked… It’s impossible for you to hear our conversation at such a distance, right?”

“This is what I speculate.” Chu Guang replied softly, “Before, you told us: you may have other questions to ask us in the future, so we cannot be set free for the time being.”

“As a result, after such a short time, you suddenly changed your mind and agreed to let us go.”

“You can make such a big change in your thinking… I speculate that there is only one possibility-you have now decided to do something that temporarily ignores me.”

“I think of what I told you before: Toyotomi established their largest base in Japan in Koyasan, and the personality of a few of you who dare to fight at Ryusui Temple…you guys It is not difficult to speculate on what will be done next with a high probability.”

“Hoho…” After Yuan Yi let out a weird laugh, he cast a very unabashed admiring look at Chuguang, “As expected of the betrayal and forbearance that has been lurking in Iga for so long… This disposition, and this You are so smart and sharp, can you tell me how old you are?”

“…14.”

“14?” A bit of surprise appeared in Yuan Yi’s eyes, “You look and feel like you’re 16 or 7 years old.”

“I just look a little more mature than people.” Chuguang replied, “I’m also a little taller than the average woman, so it’s easy for people to mistake me for being older.”

“You’re only 14 years old…I kind of understand why Jijiu chose you as his successor.” After complimenting Chuguang again, Yuan Yi nodded happily, “You’re right at all. We Next, I plan to go to Koyasan to find the people of Toyotomi to settle accounts.”

As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Chu Guang immediately interjected as if he couldn’t wait:

“If that’s the case, can you take me with you too?”

“Huh?” Chu Guang’s sudden request was beyond Yuan Yi’s expectations, causing Yuan Yi to frown slightly.

Chuguang seemed to be afraid that Yuanyi would directly reject it, and he did not give Yuanyi any opportunity to speak, and shouted sentence after sentence:

“You are strong.”

“That Jijiu, and that woman who burns, didn’t even have the strength to fight back in the face of you.”

“Right now, most of the combat power is concentrated in Osaka, and the garrison of Koyasan is extremely empty.”

“And the guy from Toyotomi Nobuhide is probably in Koyasan right now, and that Yoshihisa… is most likely on his way back to Koyasan right now.”

“If it were you, it might really be possible to inflict heavy damage on the Toyotomi family, or… directly kill Toyotomi Nobuhide or Yoshihisa!”

“I can spare Toyotomi Nobuhide, but only Yoshihisa, I can’t let him go no matter what!”

“Even if I can’t kill him myself, I want to see him die with my own eyes!”

“So—please!”

Chu Guang lowered her head to the crowd, her tone becoming more and more earnest.

“Please take me to Koyasan!”

“I dare not say how strong I am, but I can guarantee that I will never hold you back!”

“Although I am not familiar with Koyasan, I am very familiar with Toyotomi’s…especially Iga.”

“Take my word, my knowledge of Toyotomi and Iga may be able to help you!”

“Please!”

Chu Guang’s tone was extremely humble, and he almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuan Yi and the others.

Her little valet, Shibata, asked Chuguang in a low voice anxiously:

“Miss Chuguang, what are you talking about? Are you going to act with these people who don’t even know their names?”

“You are quiet.” Hatsune said to Shibata in a firm tone and a concise answer.

Hatsumi’s brief response made Shibata immediately droop his head like a defeated rooster, not daring to say anything to Hatsune.

My lifelong dream is to have a housekeeper like Mamiya in the future, or a girlfriend like Mamiya. If I can have a girlfriend like Mamiya, I will become a wreck on the spot! Who can say no to a robot cat-shaped girlfriend?
